[quote=Anonymous]Housewife to homemaker to SAHM is a change in language. College-educated white women were depressed at being "just a housewife" (read the Feminine Mystique), so "homemaker" was invented, because it sounds much more important and meaningful. You're making a home!!! But then non-poor, US-born white women started joining the paid labor force, and people started giving the side-eye to women who weren't in the paid labor force, so SAHM was invented, because emphasizes devotion to children. You're a mother, staying home to raise your children!!! It's all a purposeful distraction from the real issue, which is, how to fix things so that people (men and women) can have paid employment if they need it or want it, and also be able to raise children.[/quote]
